The old Dragon King was both shocked and delighted, and after carefully inspecting the Heavenly Repairing Discontinuity Pill, he sincerely looked at Ao Yi and said, "To be favored by Yu Yuan Immortal is truly a blessing from our ancestors.

Anyone from now on within the East Sea Dragon Clan who says Yu Yuan Immortal is an Outer Heaven Demon will be banished from the East Sea!"

"I, of course, know that my lord is not some Outer Heaven Demon!" Ao Yi nodded firmly and then asked, "Now that we have the Heavenly Repairing Discontinuity Pill, can we retrieve Ao Bing's dragon tendon?"

"This…" The old Dragon King gave a wry smile and shook his head, "That Li Nezha is extremely powerful, and with the Fire-tipped Spear, Yin Yang Sword, and many other Spiritual Treasures protecting him, even I am no match for him!"

"Father need not worry," Ao Yi declared resolutely, "As long as we know where he is, I will go and demand it back."

The old Dragon King was startled and said, "You should not overestimate your abilities. The fact that you have brought back the Heavenly Repairing Discontinuity Pill already brings me great joy. As for Ao Bing's dragon tendon, let me think of a solution.

That Li Nezha is the son of Li Jing, the General of Chentang Pass. I have met Li Jing several times; he is not a person of brutality. I can go and negotiate with him…"

Before he could finish speaking, Ao Yi interjected, "Then, your son will accompany you, Father. Do not worry, although my mana is weak and my abilities are modest, I am also protected by treasures bestowed upon me by my lord. As long as I am careful, I believe there will not be any issues."

Seeing Ao Yi's determination to go, the old Dragon King had no choice but to say, "If that is the case, then let us father and son take a trip to Chentang Pass."

With that, the old Dragon King summoned his dragon offspring, the Tortoise Prime Minister, and others, meticulously instructed them on various affairs, and then hurriedly set off towards Chentang Pass.

Chentang Pass.

Situated near the mouth of the Yellow River entering the sea, dominating the key north-south passage while also defending against coastal water clan invasions, it was an extremely important stronghold of Great Shang.

It was like a dragon winding through the mountains, with the city walls towering into the clouds, massively imposing.

The earthen yellow bricks of the city wall shone in the morning light, reflecting a glimmering radiance, like a golden barrier.

On the city walls, arrow towers were interspersed, with the army standing tall above them, ready for battle.

The old Dragon King took on the appearance of a middle-aged scholar, and Ao Yi concealed the horns on his head, transforming into a gracefully mannered young man.

Father and son rode the clouds and arrived above Chentang Pass, only to see the streets within the city winding and convoluted, like a labyrinth.

The bluestone-paved streets were flat and wide, with people coming and going, carriages shuttling through. A variety of shops lined the streets, their windows displaying a dazzling array of goods, drawing the attention of passersby.

"Although it doesn't compare to Linhuan Pass, it is indeed a bustling place."

Ao Yi praised, then pointed at a large mansion in the center of the city, saying, "I suppose that must be General Li Jing's residence, right?"

"That's correct," the old Dragon King nodded, "Li Jing once cultivated under Du E of West Kunlun. Although his abilities are modest, we cannot guarantee he doesn't possess protective treasures.

Therefore, we shall first have a cordial discussion with him. As long as he is willing to return the dragon tendon and severely punish Nezha, we should not create further conflict. And remember, unless our lives are at risk, do not flaunt the name of Yu Yuan Immortal!"

Ao Yi understood that this was for his consideration.

He had returned this time with the intention of seeking justice for his father and his third brother Ao Bing, and the words from his lord before he left were a kind of tacit approval. However, the old Dragon King reminded him time and again not to misuse his lord's name.

It was obviously out of fear that it would displease his lord.

After all, as a young boy, it would indeed be easy to provoke criticism for his lord if he acted recklessly outside.

Thinking this, he nodded solemnly, making a secret vow in his heart.

He must not tarnish his lord's name while away from home!

...

General Residence

Great Shang's General of Chengtang Pass, Li Jing, had just finished his morning session and settled down for tea with his wife in the drawing room when a family guard came running in, "Reporting to my lord, a middle-aged scholar has come to visit you at the entrance. He claims to be an old friend of yours and calls himself Aoguang."

"Aoguang?"

Li Jing was startled, leaping to his feet, "Did he mention where he came from?"

The guard shook his head, "He only said he comes from the east."

Li Jing's heart sank instantly, "It's bad; it really is the East Sea Dragon King Aoguang! I've only met him once before, so why would he take the initiative to visit me today?"

Before he finished speaking, as if realizing something, he hurriedly turned to his wife, "I'm afraid that troublemaker might have stirred up some trouble again, go and bring him here, quickly!"

Mrs. Li was displeased, "Since you recognize that Dragon King, perhaps he simply came to catch up with you today, why act so flustered?"

"If it is indeed a social visit, that would be most wonderful!" Li Jing said with a wry smile, shaking his head, "In any case, please find Nezha for me first, while I go welcome the Dragon King."

Mrs. Li also knew about her son's temperament, immediately nodding her head and heading towards the backyard to find Nezha.

Li Jing, in turn, straightened his clothes and briskly went to greet Aoguang waiting patiently in the front hall.

Upon arriving in the front hall, indeed, there stood a middle-aged scholar in resplendent clothes with a commanding appearance, followed by a handsome young man in white—also with an exceptional bearing, as if he had walked out of an Immortal's cave mansion.

Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a bow, "I was wondering why magpies have been chirping all morning, it turns out a distinguished guest has arrived! Brother Aoguang, Li Jing greets you with respect!"

"Not at all!" Aoguang's gaze was icy cold, standing in the hall like an unmovable statue.
